Dr. Cloud

In 2035 (20 years from now), you’ll have nanobots roaming your body beaming up tens of thousands of protein levels to Dr. Cloud. So will billions of other people. And human doctors — who are already pretty fallible when it comes to medical diagnosis — will be completely out of a job.

Dr. Cloud will know when you drink a sip of Coca Cola, when you climb a flight of stairs, when you take a bite of a hamburger, when bruise your shin or cut yourself on a piece of paper…everything you do and experience causes changes in protein levels throughout your body.

If Dr. Cloud detects an elevated level of CA-125, it will deploy nanobots to up-regulate your immune system and knock out the nascent ovarian cancer before it even gets started. Automatic, early cancer detection and cure. Similarly, Dr. Cloud will down-regulate your immune system to head off autoimmune diseases like arthritis, IBS, and ALS before they get started.

Dr. Cloud can maintain your body weight and BMI. If you pick up a cookie, your hand will start shaking. As you bring the cookie closer to your mouth, you’ll start to feel nauseous. And if you manage to start eating the cookie, Dr. Cloud will make you toss your cookies. Call that internal aversion therapy.
